CHRISTMAS COD PIECES
Christmas
is coming, and so is "the folk scene's comic genius" Sid Kipper.
In 'Christmas Cod Pieces' he delivers a seasonal selection-box of tasty
tales and delectable ditties.
From the first Sunday in Advert to the now disgraced
'Children-in-need-of-a-clip-round-the-ear Day', via the Trunch blowpipes, the story
of 'Christmas With Carol', and (Sid being a Norfolk boy) much talk of turkeys,
this is a delightful taste of Christmases past and present.
The
recipe is simple but classic.
Take some plum readings like Augustus Swineherd's 'Christmas At Dankly
Dull'.
Add a few spicy songs such as 'Turkey In The Door' and 'Good King Whence
The Last'.
Stir in some spirited local customs like the annual Mothers' Union Strike
Threat and Hunting The Morris Dancer.
Sprinkle on a generous handful of steps from 'The Winterton Wassup Song'.
Mix well, step back, and steam gently.
Soon
you'll be tucking into a delicious confection, full of goodness (and a certain
amount of sauce), which will leave you more than satisfied, and murmuring
"Mister Kipper makes exceedingly good jokes".
So why not treat yourself to something smooth, subtle and sophisticated this Christmas? But, before that, you must come and see this hilarious show.
"An evening of sheer, unadulterated, hilarious silliness."
"Anyone who failed to make it to the gig should count themselves very disappointed indeed, as it was a delight from start to finish."
